Hi all -

We have a customer running dual Enterprise 250's, Checkpoint 2000 
(Enterprise, Strong [using VPN]), Websense, a separate management station 
and Stonebeat FullCluster.  The fw process on the machines pretty much 
hovers around 75-85% of CPU utilization.  It has been suggested that we 
implement Active Mode TCP Streaming, UFP Caching and Kernel URL Logging to 
decrease the CPU utilization.  There are quite a few caveats to this 
configuration, including:

- Activation of Active Mode TCP Streaming is "less secure" than Passive Mode
- UFP Caching has some issues of incorrectly caching some sites

Has anyone seen any issues, or have anything good to say, about configuring 
FW1 in this manner?  We have a few concerns and want to know that it works 
first.

Thanks!

Chris
